Ok so I've done some testing and I'm convinced we should allow the reverse view for Zoned Out. I tried both methods, first with my eyes closed and my fiance directing me - got to Zone 7 twice then a Zone 8. I used airbrakes only because d-pad was too sharp.

Then I tried it on my own with my eyes open, but only using reverse view. This was again rock hard (because who's ever done Syncopia Reverse?), but after 3 attempts I got to Zone 9, and was beginning to learn the track a bit better.

So in conclusion, anybody who can do it blindfolded with a co-pilot deserves a medal (as does the co-pilot), but using reverse view will also be a hell of an achievement.

Thanks for the idea Jan

Edit - I'm up to Zone 12 after an hour or so of practice. It's mental, it takes so much concentration, if you relax for a second you forget where you are entirely. It's one of the daftest things I've done, but very addictive.

Edit - a few more runs this lunchtime, got to Zone 13, about 3 and a half laps completed. On one of my runs I got a perfect zone!

I'd like to do it this weekend if I can, but I'm not going to stop at Zone 15, I want to get to Phantom and get a perfect lap. This is the awesome, it really is. Come on guys, join me in backwards heaven

Edit - Got within 0.1 of a second, was kind of relieved I didn't make it to be honest as I wasn't recording - another perfect zone though:

Lol colonel you just triple posted. Anyway yeh did u get rid of the perfect lap zeus thing because I have done 86laps on mallavol. A pic I posted earlier was proof of getting over 75. Also if I record getting zone 75 without crashing do i get that trophy too? Also surviving the grid is pretty easy, didn't u bear witness to me doing that on mallavol lol?
